This system has been around since day 1. It's just shifted the time by 3 hours. I would argue it's only fair to let the rest of the world get a taste of that advantage for a while.

The previous last refresh time was a good middle ground. Early for some late for others, etc. Midnight for Australia, 5am for the west coast. The only people in a bad spot were Hawaiins. Now, it's 1, 2, 3, or 4am for Americans. Blatantly screwing us over.

It's only an hour later than the 4am time east coasters are now complaining about. The 1am we have now is still annoying but better. To hit both topics at once, maybe rather than mastery, events could split players by time zone? It'd also likely mean fewer ties for first place, and nodes could be set to refresh at a decent time for people everywhere as events would run at staggered times.
